Barcelona look to capitalise on another slip up from Real Madrid as they host Sevilla at the Camp Nou on Sunday with the opportunity to pull eight points ...

Suso and Lucas Ocampos have been rotated to the bench by Sampaoli, with Oliver Torres and Pape Gueye slotted in on the flanks. Jorge Sampaoli has turned things around at Sevilla, and it's mostly thanks to his ability to get the best Sevilla players back on form. 60 mins to kick: Sevilla have now entered their lineup, and Jorge Sampaoli has made a few changes in midfield. Kickoff: The match is under way after a few minutes delay at the iconic Nou Camp, as Barcelona look to go eight points clear at the top of the league table! Sergio Busquets is fouled on the right flank, and he's requiring treatment, looks a bit of a painful one as he twists his ankle under the pressure from Youssouf En Nesyri. Busquets is out of contract at the end of the season, and is thought likely to leave the club. 3rd min: Barcelona are holding the majority of the early possession, unsurprisingly, but have yet to venture forward into the attacking third. Gavi manages to head it to the Polish striker on the right side of the six-yard box, and from a tight angle he's got a chance to fire it on frame. A great bit of defending, in all honesty, given the angle of that delivery. 20th min: Barcelona are pummeling Sevilla at the moment, already winning their fourth corner of the match. The flag goes up for offside on a ball down the right from Gonzalo Montiel, and Barcelona win the ball back. The Blaugrana could use pace to try and beat Sevilla at the expense of some possessional dominance.

Barcelona vs Sevilla LIVE: Xavi's side look to go EIGHT points clear at the top of LaLiga following Real Madrid's loss to Mallorca with struggling visitors ...

Kounde plays a wonderful diagonal up to the head of Gavi who is wonderful in the air. The reigning champions' loss at Mallorca has handed Barcelona a golden opportunity to go well clear in the title race. They have gone 15 games in the league, home and away, without losing to tonight's visitors. The midfielder remains down and there is some movement on the bench. The foul comes from a Raphinha dart in-field - something he hasn't done enough at Barcelona thus far - before the ball pops up to Kounde who is hauled down. The pressure isn't unsurvivable for Sevilla but it is growing and Barcelona will be encouraged by their play so far. Poor decision making by Raphinha there as should come inside but instead opts to try and go on the outside of Acuna. Sevilla are really settled into a shape now and are unlikely to come out of it. Only one team is committed to winning this game at the moment - but they have shown promise when they've gone forward, or at least promise in that they are able to get forward. The Serbian midfielder heads the ball narrowly past the post with Bono rooted to the spot. Raphinha has not been good enough on the right with Barcelona needing to stretch the game. Of course, Sampaoli, who has set his team up to get a point and get out as soon as possible, will be the far happier of the two coaches.
